Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing angular components consisting of flat-strip laminated sections for the retrofitted reinforcement of concrete structures. According to said method several monolayer supporting fibre layers which are embedded in a binding agent film (140) are drawn, wound or pressed onto a shaping element (142, 144, 154) having at least one shaping edge (148, 152, 155) such that they are superimposed on their broad sides and then compressed under the influence of pressure and heat until said layers are joined across their broad sides. After curing of the binding agent the composite part (158) produced in this way is removed from the shaping element and divided into angular components (110) having defined leg lengths and/or widths.

Granted: 2003-08-06
Abstract: In a method for processing data in the form of a grid of discrete source values, at least one target value situated among the source values is determined by means of interpolation. According to the invention account is also taken of the character and the definition of the source data by determining a local minimum and a local maximum of the surrounding source values in a region round the target value for determining and by determining a measure for the dynamics of the surrounding source values in a region round the target value to be determined. The target value calculated by interpolation is adjusted in the direction of either the local maximum or the local minimum on the basis of the thus calculated measure for the dynamics of the surrounding source values in order to express the character and the definition of the source data.

Abstract: The use of a goal-understanding abstraction hierarchy in conjunction with Bayesian inference, decision-theoretic analyses of conversational and observational actions is disclosed to provide machinery for incremental refinement of an understanding about a user's goals through conversation with users. A computer-implemented method receives multiple classes of information regarding a user goal including visual and linguistic clues at a specific level of the abstraction hierarchy, to assess the goal. The method then determines a with a value-of-information analysis the utility of acquiring additional information via making additional observations or by explicitly querying the user versus making a decision to change the level of precision of the analysis of a user's goals. Throughout the analysis, a probability distribution is inferred about the goals of a user. This probability distribution is used in conjunction with a representation of utility of different outcomes to identify informational and navigational actions with the greatest expected utility. In one embodiment, the probability of the leading goal is inferred and used to drive decision making, for example, in assuming the relevance of particular sub-goals of the current goal, where the sub-goals are in a succeeding level of the hierarchy. The probability can be determined in one embodiment by a Bayesian network. If the highest probability sub-goal exceeds a progression threshold, which can be determined by an approximate decision analysis, then this sub-goal is proceeded to in one embodiment-that is, the current level is advanced to the succeeding level, and information gathering is initiated at this new level.

Abstract: A method for membrane filtration of effluent water containing suspended matter reduces membrane clogging and improves filtration capacity of the membrane. The method includes adding a dose of a preselected coagulation reactant to the effluent before the effluent passes over the membrane. The added dose is a fraction of the coagulating reactant dose (X) that would render the zeta potential of the effluent equal to zero. The range of the added dose is X/30-X/80. The suspended matter in the effluent is subjected to the added dose of coagulation reactant for destabilizing the suspended matter.

Abstract: An apparatus for sealing a passage through tissue communicating with a blood vessel includes a bioabsorbable plug member coupled to the distal end of a carrier member. The plug member includes a lumen extending therethrough that communicates with a lumen extending through the carrier member. A sealing member is disposed in the plug member lumen for sealing the lumen. A guide member is slidable into the lumen such that edges of a groove extending between proximal and distal portions of the guide member engage a wall of the lumen to define a bleed back lumen. The guide member is inserted into the passage until the distal portion enters the vessel. The plug member is advanced over the guide member until the plug member enters the vessel, whereupon blood enters the bleed back lumen to identify the location of the vessel relative to the plug member.
